Braves plan to hold Chop Fest, ‘rain or shine’

The Braves’ annual Chop Fest fan event is still scheduled for Saturday at SunTrust Park. A team representative said Friday that the event will take place “rain or shine.”

Many of the events are scheduled for indoors, and the spokesman said the field will remain open “even in the rain.”

The Chop Fest is scheduled for 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at the park and The Battery Atlanta. Activities include baseball clinics, autograph sessions, photo opportunities with players, interactive attractions, live entertainment and Q&A sessions.

There is no charge for admission to the event, but there will be charges for some of the autograph sessions, and the Braves said the money from those will go to the Atlanta Braves Foundation.
